General

Epiphone present an ode to an antique but with an attainable price in the elegant, square-shouldered dreadnought form of the Masterbilt Series Hummingbird. Every bit Inspired by Gibson. All of the delicious, vintage features have been retained, so you have an all-solid steel-string finished with a solid sitka spruce soundboard and supported by a mahogany back and sides and the snug feel of a round C-profile mahogany neck. This sensitive build guarantees full-range and rich acoustic sound with a warm timbre and noticeably enhanced resonance.

The Masterbilt Hummingbird: Fast and Familiar, Whether Amplified or Unplugged

The bone nut and bridge saddle have a lot to do with the tone this acoustic guitar is able to produce, and since this is Ephiphone's electro-acoustic take on the classic Hummingbird, it comes loaded with the rightly popular Fishman Sonicore System. The natural sound is registered by a piezo pickup and sent to the integrated preamp, where the result can be tweaked using the provided volume and tone controls for natural amplified sound. While this is every bit the modern stage-ready guitar, you still get the vintage refinement of an engraved scratchplate, the comfort of a reverse belly-bridge, and the class of split-parallelogram fretboard inlays and a Kalamazoo-style headstock.

Erg tevreden met de aankoop. Fijn om te bespelen en prachtig geluid (ook versterkt).

Top ook dat er een demper bij geleverd is dan kan ik savonds nog een uurtje langer door.

Enige minpuntje is dat het lastig is om de batterij te vervangen (zit in de klankkast).

Excellent instrument !

J'ai d'abord acheté la version studio sans savoir que celle-ci existait, à peine essayée je me suis rendu au pays bas pour acheter celle-ci ; Aucun regret, son chaud pour les basses et je trouve les middles et high tones très clairs.
Les finitions ne sont pas parfaites, mais rien de dramatique, j'ai été totalement conquis.

Geweldige gitaar! Ziet er fantastisch uit en ook het materiaal en de afwerking lijken van hoge kwaliteit. Speelt en klinkt bovendien als een zonnetje. Honderd procent aanrader, ik ben er echt superblij mee! Het enige minpuntje is misschien dat mijn oude Gibson Les Paul Studio er in bijna alles bij verbleekt waardoor ik nu dus ook een nieuwe electrische gitaar wil...
